　One of Light's avenging partners, Nano, a dwarf species, resigned from his job to manufacture the "Forbidden Sword".

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He moved to a house in the suburbs.

　The house has a combined stone and metal fence and a metal gate.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The house is a two-story structure with a garden, but it is not well maintained, and the building is designed to be sturdy rather than decorative.

　Therefore, the house has the image of a small fortress rather than a nobleman's mansion.

　Funding was not a problem, as he was paid for the murder of Wright, a candidate for the "Master" position.

　The house Nanno moved into was originally built for blacksmithing research, so it was very suitable for manufacturing the "forbidden sword.

　There is also a research room in the basement to prevent secrets from leaking out.

　The former owner of the house, like Nano, continued his research to create the "legendary weapon," but his wish was not fulfilled and he died.

　Is it a kind of irony that someone has moved in to try to create the "legendary weapon" again?

Hello, my name is Hisomi.

　A racial (human) merchant raises his voice at the entrance of such a mansion.

　He rang the door knocker loudly so that Nanno could hear him.

　The merchant appears at the mansion, loading the ordered goods onto a carriage covered with thick cloth.

　Overall, he has an unremarkable appearance.

　If I had to say more, I would say that his threadbare eyes and his stinky smile are only slightly memorable.

　The sound of the door knocker seems to have reached him safely, and the door opens slightly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Even though it is still daytime, the inside of the door is dark.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is probably because they have not turned on any lights.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Despite this, Nano's eyes were shining as if they were lit up with a gleam.

We have brought food, alcohol, daily necessities and consumables, as well as iron ore, coal, and various alchemical materials. And we have prepared three barrels of special materials this time as well. However, these special materials are a little too heavy for me, so ......"

　Nano carries in a large barrel.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He is around level 300.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He can carry a large barrel of this size with ease.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Meanwhile, HISOMI carries in small items such as groceries.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Since the two of them worked together, it did not take that long to carry the items in.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　After carrying in the goods from the back loading entrance, they faced each other inside the warehouse, and Hisomi spoke to Nano.

Then we will take the payment from the Adventurers' Guild account as usual.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I've got it. Here's your certificate.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Nano hands a certificate to HISOMI with the amount of money prepared in advance.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This would allow him to receive NANO's money in the Adventurers' Guild account.

How is the production of the example going?　If there are any materials or supplies you are missing, I will make them available to you right away."

No problem. No problem at all," he said, "in fact, it's going very well. Look at this.

　He makes a maniacal smile and pulls out a knife from his waistband.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The blade of the knife was slightly reddish, and if you looked closely, you could see a faint black haze rising from it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The knife was made as an experiment according to the book on the production of the 'forbidden sword' that I bought from you," he said. Although it was made from a single human, I was able to create a relic-class knife with ease!　Hee-hee-hee!　Isn't that wonderful!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes, it's a great job. I would love to have you take it down to me as a product.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　HISOMI replied, not moving his smug smile at all, even though he had heard that "one race (human) was used as the material for the creation.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The "forbidden sword" they are talking about is a cursed weapon of great power that is rarely found in ruins.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The word "sword" refers not only to swords, but also to axes, spears, and other weapons in general.

　It is said that some fairy tale heroes were able to use the "forbidden sword" by holding it down with their strong mental strength, but it is generally regarded as a dangerous item.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Therefore, it was called "forbidden sword" or "cursed weapon.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Under the Six Nations Agreement, "forbidden swords" were also treated as dangerous goods, and if they were acquired by mistake or found in the possession of others, they were strictly ordered to report it immediately. Intentional possession in violation could even result in the death penalty.

　Nano purchased the book for manufacturing such a "forbidden sword" from Hisomi, and is actually creating it "from human materials.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Nano, who has manufactured a reddish knife, is pleased with the merchant Hisomi's reply.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I see... I see!　After all, if one who should see it sees it, even a race (human) of lower rank as a species will understand how wonderful this knife is!　...... No, is it because of my superior talent as a blacksmith that I create such a wonderful knife from an incompetent race (human)?　I may be the dwarf species sent to this earth by the Goddess to create the 'legendary weapon' ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He enters his own world in the middle of the monologue and begins to monologue.

The "forbidden sword" made from "human material" should have no effect on its maker.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Ah~, it seems that the medicine didn't work properly,' she said. I'm sorry, I woke you up halfway through."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

............"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Nano does not respond to Hisomi's apology, but puts his hand on the rattling vat and opens the lid.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He then peeks in on the man inside, who is gagged, bound hand, foot, and body tightly, and unable to move.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The man is a "...... lively race (human). This will make a great weapon. You are lucky. You are in luck, because this genius blacksmith will transform you into legendary weapons that will be spoken of for eternity. I will turn your incompetence into legendary weapons without wasting a drop of heart, bone, skin, vindictiveness, suffering, madness, resentment, or blood. Rejoice, rejoice."

Nnghhhh!　Unh!　Nnnngh!"

　The adult male race (human) in the barrel shakes and rattles at Nano's statement, and shakes his head with tears, but is unable to move properly because he is firmly secured by the gag & rope.

　Nano carefully closes the lid again and carries the large barrel.

　They are going to move it to the underground laboratory.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Now it's going to get busier and busier. Hithomi, we are still short of race (ingredients), so please bring more and more.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I understand. I'll leave it to you.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　HISOMI replies in agreement without wavering in any way, without wavering in any way, despite the fact that the same race (human) is being subjected to the same cruelty.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He leaves the warehouse, gets into his carriage, and leaves the mansion.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　While operating the carriage as a servant, HISOMI mutters to himself.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Hisomi's narrow eyes, only one of them slightly open, are thinking.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

If so, it's a bit tricky. Oh no, it's a messy ......."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　His soliloquy disappears with the sound of horses' footsteps and carriage movement.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And just like that, he melted away, unheard by anyone.
